Welcome to The Betty Rocker Show, the place to be to Nourish Your Mind, Love Your Body, and Rock Your Life!
The last time I was in Austin, I was a guest in the home of my good friend Amber Sears. Amber and I worked out together, had epic long talks, worked together, and cooked together – and upheld one of our favorite traditions which is baking pizza that satisfies the different eating styles in the house (from paleo to vegan to simply whole food based clean eating).
We also had a chance to sit down in her beautiful office space and record an epic conversation that I’m excited to share with you today, where we dove into many topics, including body shaming and body positivity, holding space and setting boundaries, the journey she’s been on to loving herself, and what it took for her to go from an unhealthy, draining relationship to now being married to the love of her life.
I know you’ll get some real gold from this open and in-depth conversation. Enjoy!
Amber Sears is an international pilates and yoga teacher, holistic nutritionist, former professional dancer and business coach. She is the creator of Epic Self, and the host of the Soul Powered Podcast where she guides business owners with her heart centered purpose-driven work.
From her site: “My passion is helping others sculpt their most epic lifestyle and build businesses that serve others. My three branch approach with clients and students stem from the philosophy that mind, body and spirit are connected and equally significant in moment to moment health and ultimate longevity.”
